Somewhere around middle school, you learned about squaring numbers and the inverse, finding the square root of a number, but a little reminder can't hurt. You square a number when you multiply it by ...

Researchers at the University of Rochester in New York have developed a DNA computer that’s capable of performing square root calculations of numbers all the way up to 900. It’s an impressive ...

LOS ANGELES - Caltech researchers have produced the most sophisticated DNA-based computer yet, a wet-chemistry system that can calculate the square roots of numbers as high as 15. The system is ...

Years ago, no math education was complete without understanding how to compute a square root. Today, you are probably just reaching for a calculator, or if you are writing a program, you’ll probably ...

After seeing an exhibit of an old relay-based computer as a kid, [Simon] was inspired to build a simple two-relay latching circuit. Since then, he’s been fascinated by how relays can function to do ...

A new DNA computer calculates square roots of perfect squares up to 900. Like quantum computers, DNA computers are an exciting frontier of post-silicon computing. Where previous examples were up to 4 ...
